Import Tips
• Verify documentation proves the product is solely dried, salted or in brine without smoking to avoid reclassification under heading 0305.41
• Include certificates of origin and processing method details, as Section 609 may apply if any shrimp contamination is suspected in supply chain
• Label accurately with species name and ensure moisture content complies with FDA import standards for dried fish
